The Kremlin says U.S. envoys hold “frank” talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, during which they express an interest in ending hostilities and also put forward “a number of ideas” on routes to a settlement.
Moscow describes the meeting as lasting more than three hours, with the U.S. delegation including Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. The Kremlin frames the discussion as part of Washington’s effort to revive negotiations aimed at ending the war in Ukraine, which outlets describe as the worst conflict in Europe since World War II.
While both sources emphasize the Kremlin’s characterization of the talks, they differ in how much additional detail they provide beyond the claim that multiple ideas were discussed. Neither source attributes specific proposals to Washington in the information provided here, and both primarily relay statements from the Kremlin regarding the meeting’s substance and intentions.
